Candy Land

Triple decker chocolate ice cream
Melting from the scorching sun
Moving fast to keep from dripping
Down before you hear the gun

Double dose of sugar candy
Taken from a child of three
Make him move away from danger
Save him from the stormy sea

One shot of vanilla latte
Perk you up for what’s to come
Dodging bullets and escaping danger
You can hear the beating drum

Life is short and so they tell you
Take your pills and resist the need
To fill yourself with fleeting pleasure
will damage your reigning seed

Candy Land is here to save you
Eat all that you want
Gorge yourself with every amusement
This is what this Land will taunt

This is the dream of Candy Land
To obtain your hopes and wants
To spend your life reaching for this feeling
Of the message of the taunts

Just a little more of this
and maybe a little bit of that
You will be fulfilled and happy
You will finally reach your stat

Candy eventually kills my friend
It rots you to the core
Take heed to resist the taunts
of always wanting more
